DENVER<\/strong> | Kyle Karros hit a three-run homer to left field in the eighth inning to give the Colorado Rockies the lead in a 7-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 471-foot shot off Dylan Smith\u2019s fastball was Karros\u2019 seventh home run of the season and the longest of his career.<\/p>\n

With Karros\u2019 homer, the Rockies have 122 runs in the eighth inning or later this season, the highest mark in the majors.<\/p>\n

TJ Rumfield had three hits, including his 20th double of the season, and scored twice for Colorado. He has 94 hits, the most by a Colorado rookie before the All-Star Break in franchise history.\n<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hunter Goodman and Troy Johnston added an RBI apiece for Colorado, which won its ninth series of the season, surpassing its total from the entire 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Victor Vodnik (3-3) picked up the win after throwing a shutout eighth inning while Smith (0-1) took the loss. Jordan Romano got his fifth save, striking out Willy Adames swinging with two outs and a runner on second.<\/p>\n

Rafael Devers hit his team-leading 17th and 18th home runs for San Francisco. Casey Schmitt and Drew Gilbert also homered for the Giants.<\/p>\n
